Cream Cheese ideas?

**Karen** · 10-03-2008, 01:10 AM

Hee hee - I use Neufchatel - the lower fat version of cream cheese, so I guess it's already a little softer. This summer, I brought graham crackers, neufchatel, blueberries and raspberries to an event, so I'd make people little fruit cheesecakes! T'was lots of fun, and it was hot out so the cheese was softer in the sun, and it was an instant hit!

My beloved Grandma and I would have graham crackers with cream cheese and strawberry jam as a treat sometimes, so I cannot take any credit for the idea. Love you, Grandma!

Spread some on your warm toast with a dab of strawberry jam and call it breakfast cheesecake

Or, melt some in with your scrambled eggs. YUM!

1 pkg cc
1 tbsp vanilla
12 oreo cookies (crushed)
1/4c powdered sugar

combine ingredients, then form a ball and roll it in chocolate chips

dig in with graham cracker sticks (regular or the chocolate version)

this is best if it sits over night in the fridge

Oh my, these recipes all sound so good. I'm going to have to try several of them!

The first thing that came to my mind is my chili cheese dip I make.
Take the block of CC and using the back of a large spoon spread it around on a plate. Pour a can of Hormel NO BEANS chili on top (or another kind of chili would work I guess, but I always use Hormel). Then sprinkle LOTS of shredded cheese (any kind works) on top of the chili. Warm in the microwave until the cheese on top is all nice and melted. Eat with tortilla chips, or corn chips.
This dip is ALWAYS a hit at parties or company potlucks.

Do I admit this?

Warm a tortilla, cream cheese, crushed BBQ potato chips with spoonful of salsa or hot sauce.
